i wonder what it's like
to be small
to look up at the world
and feel its weight
to stand up straight
and still be below
everyone else
at your side.

because it could drown
my own thoughts
on the subject.
a different aspect
to view my friends,
a different way
they'd view me.
i could be weaker
i could be sadder
i could be bigger
inside
because i'd feel like
i could.
but i'm tall
and since i could talk
i've known i'm the one that gives,
not takes.
it might sound stupid
but sometimes a little stupid
is what you want for your mind.
